| Technical information | |
Koz Araçanic is a dialect of Araçanic spoken in Kozdenen by a community of Çana people known as the Marugali or Mʉrugʉli. It diverges greatly enough from Araçanic’s standard variety, especially in pronunciation, that some linguists consider it a separate language. The Mʉrugʉli and their speech should not be confused with more recent Araçanni immigrants to Kozdenen.
